Introducing Amy and Robert.

27 February 2009

0144psrsAs you know DeAnna and I took the smart for a little trip to Vegas. The reasons for the trip were numerous.  We wanted to shoot some of route 66, really give the smart it’s first test drive, go to the WPPI convention and photograph Amy and Robert.  I met Amy last summer when I photographed her friend Elysa’s wedding, (I also photographed Elysa’s sisters wedding a couple of years prior).  I am really looking forward to Amy and Robert’s wedding.  It’s going to be in Alamagordo, NM and Sunday after the wedding we are heading White Sands for another shoot.  So why Vegas?  Why not, it’s not everyday you get to shoot an engagement session on the strip.  Amy wanted something different, I think we got it :-)   One thing about Vegas in February is the possibility of rain, yeah, it rained.  It cleared up a bit while we were shooting but it was coming down enough at times to make me worry about the hand full of electronics we were shooting on, luckily the lens’s are weather sealed and we had the foresight to bring umbrellas.

I love the lines these railings create.  They look waist deep in marble. 0130psrs1

Thanks again for meeting up with us in Vegas and being real troopers about the rain. I’m looking forward to the wedding.
